About this Course

Women remain underrepresented in leadership positions globally. To succeed, women must learn to navigate both the external factors that hinder their access to leadership positions and the internal factors that could cost them opportunities for advancement.

The online Women’s Leadership Program from the Yale School of Management Executive Education equips you with the knowledge and skills to develop your full professional potential as leaders in society. Through exploration of values-based leadership and emotional self-mastery, you’ll strengthen your emotional intelligence, understand your individual strengths, and learn to harness creative thinking to maximize the capacity for business innovation and problem-solving. Embark on a personal development journey and learn to utilize your distinctive abilities to help guide yourself, your teams, and your organization towards success.

This online leadership course aims to equip existing and aspiring leaders with the confidence, self-awareness, and networking skills to effectively lead their teams and organizations. Business leaders and senior managers will benefit from gaining insight into the behaviors that have the potential to shape future business, as well as leadership skills to effect positive change within their organizations. It’s also beneficial to middle and junior managers looking to gain personal and professional leadership development in order to prepare to move into a senior or executive management role.
